Pam is one of my favorites. This is a great project.

[@roxycreations679]

She is fabulous!!! Thank you so much!

[@litawalters4387]

I agree too, you give up so much of your time and we all miss you but please take time to be with your family and friends and enjoy yourself Rachel. I love what you did with the cover really cute. Pam has some really great ideas, I just made the ephemera book with the rings that she did and I had a lot of fun making it too. Stay safe and thank you so much for all your videos and great stories they keep me happy. Love Lita xx😘😘

Good for you Rachel that you enjoyed your weekend. I know you will appreciate this, My second Epson Eco tank has broken . I had to ship it back to Epson not even a year old. So now I have time to watch videos. I love this project. Thanks for sharing 😍

What a clever way to use a book, particularly such a beautiful book. I hope your headache has eased, I've got a stinker of a headache today so I can sympathise with you.

I had to take a paracetomol (spell???) and then it went away! Thank you so much!

Very useful project and the book cover is beautiful. I think I might cut the fabric into a wedge shape so the pocket can open a bit wider. Glad you took some time off, even though we missed you!

[@kathrynhelm4176]

That is wonderful! You added just three small items to the cover and it is stunning! I saw Pam’s video on using the fabric gussets and you did her proud. 🥰🤣. You know Rachel, you deserve to have a life outside of your crafting so don’t apologize about taking a weekend off. I can only speak for myself but I really don’t think any of your followers would mind seeing one less video so you could enjoy your family. 🥰❤️.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

This is wonderful! And I bet it’s something I could manage to make. The book cover is quite divine! And I love the addition of the lace.Thank you for always sharing so much. Its always helpful for me to see your process in detail .

This is awesome, so clever. Sorry to hear about your favorite antique store. Its heartbreaking how many businesses have closed because of the unmentionable.

[@roxycreations679]

I know they have indefinitely cancelled that antique market. Thank you so much!

[@Aleta432]

That is so pretty. I have been learning from you for a month or so now and I don’t think I have commented yet. I just heard that it’s a good thing to do. So , I just started junk journals a little while ago and love all the wonderful papers and projects that you do. Just enjoying listening to you also. Thank you for sharing!

It's totally fine you didn't get a video done. Just think 5 or 6 months ago, we were unable to get out and go anywhere thanks to Covid. I'm still unsure about going out. I go grocery shopping, to the pharmacy and my adult children's home. But as for the movie theater, restaurants etc. I've never been paranoid about going anywhere until Covid hit, and I dislike this feeling. Stay healthy and safe my friend. Thank you so much for this great video. I really need to seriously make an ephemera holder book. So this video is helpful. TFS 💕 BTW I often tell my children, I wasn't born with patience, haha😂. I can never wait, for anything. I want it now, not later lol.

[@roxycreations679]

Hahaha patience is a difficult one I think!!! We go about our business but with precautions. Stay safe and well! Thank you so much!

Love this project so far, looking forward to more! I’m back in quarantine before my operation next week (carpal tunnel), I’d just got used to freedom and as things aren’t great here right now my recovery will be on my own too! I won’t be able to make any journals for a while so I’ll be glue booking and colouring and just watching everyone else on KZbin xxx💕

[@roxycreations679]

I hope you have a speedy recovery! Cases are shooting up here too! Thank you so much!

[@pamelacooper1314]

Missed you, but that's ok. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I'm glad you're not afraid to get out and live life. Too many people are hold up inside....lol. I love this little coverlet. I think it would be great as a pouch for envelopes and stationary as a gift. I may make a few for gifts. TFS Hugs!

I love this idea..such a good way to use those book covers sitting around. I think for me Id make a folder that can sit inside to pull up when getting items out because I have short fat fingers. 😉😀tfs🤗🤗💜💜

That would be a great addition. You could also have pretty tabs sticking out. Thank you so much!

Love this, Rachel. I have lots of old book covers, so I might have to try this. (I made an altered book where you leave in a few pages, then tear out a few etc, and it's probably my most favorite thing I've ever made.) Don't apologize for taking time off on the weekend. Although, your gastro issues do not sound like fun. Been there. :-) xo

I'll be in quarantine for 2 weeks... Outbreak of the unmentionable at my kid's middle school. So much time on my hands that I'll be catching up on your vids! You can ignore my random comments, it's for your YT stats. Lol Great project, I remember seeing someone else make this, and I think with a large book, this would be perfect for filing away taxes and such in a prettier way.

I hope you and your family are ok! It was Pam from The Paper Outpost. Thank you so much!

[@karenbelbin6790]

hello Rachel from Tasmania Australia, i love watching your videos and love how you just wing it, so aussie🤣🤣anyway had a thought to share, if you ironed your fabric with a V crease then glued it would make those pieces fold in like on a purse, hope you understand that, its in my head but hard to put into words. Would love to know what you think, cheers Karen

[@roxycreations679]

Got it, I'll give it a go! Thank you so much!

Years ago I saw someone do something similar to this with a larger book, it was a purse!

[@canadianjaneoriginal]

I need to make one of these! I have been looking for Florentine paper for years. The one you used inside. I can’t find! I used to work in a papershop and sadly didn’t purchase any sheets of this b4 I left. Its gone now for good so we don’t have any paper shops left here except modern notebook shops. This is the same design on my Italian journal from 20 years ago. The simple things are hard to get now. We can’t even get Ranger ink in Canada anymore without importing it at 2.5x more in worth. Michaels not carrying much at all.
